My internet was down for two days… It allowed me to ponder the fact that I have a child who is now a high school graduate. Where does the time go? Isn’t he handsome!!!??? It was a big class (786 students) most of whom seemed to be award winning, honor roll-making, superb young adults. Amazing. […]
I am SO glad I didn’t run over that old man in the parking lot. He had much wisdom to share.
I ran into the grocery store to pick up a few things. Specifically, wine. I’m on a Petite Syrah kick right now and I bought a case that was on sale. (Oh, but what I would give to afford a daily Rombauer habit… but I digress.) A clerk helped me out to the parking lot […]
I’d like a Xanax Martini please.
I woke up yesterday morning, excited about the day. I was going to do 3 fun things for ME! ME!! (9:30) – In the morning I was meeting a girlfriend for coffee (with Grant along for the ride, but that’s no problem because each of them like each other more than they like me… I […]
I love the smell of Aqua Net in the morning…
We went to an 80’s themed birthday party last night. Lots and lots of prep work to get ready. My handsome hubby researched his Billy Idol ensemble as if it were part of a case he was working on… very diligent and thorough. Many looks were represented, but I think my friend Connie had the […]
We need some help in the shoe department. Please.
Mitchell & I went shopping yesterday. We were looking at some shoes and discussing which we liked the best. There was a pair of Vans with some cool details on the sides. “I like these best” Mitch says, pointing to the shoes, “The ones with the Space Invaders on the sides.” Oh no, no, no. […]
There is no cure for what they have… it’s chronic.
I don’t recall how it came up, but I was in the car with Devin & Conner and I said something about “that Playboy chick” on a nearby car. This is the conversation that ensued: Devin: “Wow Mom, that’s so weird!” Me: “What’s weird?” Devin: “To hear you say ‘chick’ – it’s just weird to […]
I think Beetlejuice was based on a Schoolhouse Rock segment.
We got a new camera. I haven’t read the manual. I haven’t figured out how to upload my Halloween photos yet. Therefore, no Halloween pix to post…. which may be a good thing since I still had a wine buzz at 6:00 the next morning. (Thanks for a fun night, Auntie E!) I have a […]
Weekend Wrap Up
Friday night over dinner Devin says, “Hey, did I tell you I joined 2 clubs at school?” Rich and I both said no he hadn’t told us, but we were happy to hear it. (We’re both firm believers in the If You’re Happy Socially, You’ll Do Well Academically principle.) “Which clubs did you join, Dev?” […]
You little punks. I’ve forgotten more music than you’ll ever hear.
You know what’s funny? To hear someone humming “Smoke On The Water” and realize that it is your 4 year old. I am a pretty musical person. Not in the capacity that I can play instruments or sing (there are many who can vouch for me on this!) but in that I like a wide […]
Don’t you forget about me… or my marketing strategy will fail.
This is wrong, wrong, wrong. Today’s kids have no idea what this is referring to, unless their parents (ahem) saw The Breakfast Club when they were in high school. JC Penney has got to be aiming this ad at parents, not at kids. Because if they haven’t seen the movie, I imagine the kids find […]
